IT TURNS OUT SH*T MAKES LOUSY GLUE:  “We Were Fooled” Narrative Continues to Crumble.

PLAUSIBLE:

I'm slowly becoming convinced that a majority of the opposition to Trump are boomers who think Trump is cancelling social security because the TV told them so. https://t.co/rJ2yA0RcfY

RUNNING ON EMPTY: History shows that the veneer of civilization is thin. A moral vacuum makes it thinner. “I was born into and grew up in an era of miracles wrought by hard work, dedication, and dearly earned competence. So it’s a bitter pill to swallow when I look around now and see that our greatest challenge isn’t going to the moon and back with slide rules and vacuum tubes; it’s trying to figure out who gets to use the girls’ bathroom at an Ivy League swim meet.”

Plus: “We are, these days, a nation in the thrall of lazy, dishonest, spineless, clueless, incompetent, yet endlessly entitled and arrogant academics, bureaucrats, politicians, media figures, and other ‘experts’ who can’t seem to find their way from their heads to their asses with their hands when something important, like, say, COVID or the 25th Amendment, is in play.”

Kick them in the asses a few times and they’ll be able to find them in the future. The problem has been the lack of consequences.

HMM: Criticisms of the Military’s XM7 Rifle Spill Into the Open. “But, despite widespread criticism, the Army has gone all-in on defending the brass’s choice of the XM7. The first soldiers to experiment with the weapon, we’ve been told, gave it glowing reviews. Then, subsequent units that picked it up had nothing but good to say about it. This led public opinion to waver a bit. Maybe the brass was right if all of the grunts love it . . . right? It turns out that (as is often the case) we may not have been told the whole story.”
